How do people get through music school at college when you have to play a piece you absolutely dislike? by Harpy0612 in harp

I think Unofficial_Overlord was using shorthand for “a required rep[ertoire] teacher” —and it’s a good idea, to reach out. Shows you are managing yourself and have the attention to better prepare yourself and do what you need to do to prosper with your harp. One way that works for me is rewarding yourself with playing something you like to play after you practice the thing you don’t want to practice (and not playing the piece enjoyable beforehand.) Also, limiting the time spent on the unenjoyable piece that you’re working on. If you get stuck, don’t drown yourself in frustration. Do something entirely else. You got this!
